Precision Cut in the USA in a Round Brilliant, by Daniel O’Neil

7.35 x 4.08 mm

A Rich Purple Sapphire Round from Tanzania, Natural unheated color and stunningly clean! A Medium Dark Violet to Fuchsia Purple, shows flashes of both warm and cool Purples on face-up, due to the dichroic nature of Sapphire.  Shifts to Fuchsia completely under warm indoor lighting 🙂   Excellent USA cutting completes this pleasing package, sure to please any Purple Lover.  There are some very tiny crystal inclusions and a few miniscule needles, barely visible at 10x.
